Access to Excellence

We believe that finances, geography, or life circumstances should not be a barrier to an excellent college education. Affordability and flexibility–night and weekend classes, multiple locations–are a high priority. Personalized help with financial aid and scholarship options are available. Northeastern has the lowest percentage of graduates with student loan debt.

We know you are looking for enriching experiences outside the classroom, too.
